Nato Returns As Simbas Head To Hong Kong

Nato Simiyu in action during the Simbas 45-24 win over Uganda at the RFUEA Ground on Saturday 30 July 2016

Fly half Nato Simiyu returns to the Simbas after a year’s absence as Head Coach Jerome Paarwater named the 26 man travelling party to the Hong Kong Cup of Nations taking place in Hong Kong between 10th and 18th November. Simiyu’s last taste of test rugby was the 34-10 home win over Hong Kong in Nairobi in August 2016.

There is also a return for fellow fly half Biko Adema who limped off injured during the Simbas 19-19 draw against the same opposition in Nairobi on August 20 this year while Alex Olaba, Peter Kilonzo and Elkeans Musonye get the nod for their first tour and with it the opportunity to add to their solitary caps.
